The patent application (Publication Number: US20240003212A1) describes a novel wellhead system designed to ensure the proper orientation and landing of a landing string assembly within a wellhead assembly. The system includes an orientation engagement part on the wellhead assembly that corresponds to an orientation feature on the landing string assembly. As the landing string assembly is lowered into the wellhead assembly, the orientation feature engages with the orientation engagement part, rotating the landing string assembly about its longitudinal axis to achieve the desired orientation. An orientation sensor assembly mounted on the landing string assembly measures the angular rotation of the landing string assembly, providing crucial data for monitoring and control purposes.
Furthermore, the wellhead system incorporates additional features such as a processor connected to the orientation sensor assembly to receive and analyze signals indicative of the landing string assembly's orientation. The system also includes sensor assemblies, such as gyro sensors and proximity sensors, to measure acceleration, elevation, and proximity of the landing string assembly within the wellhead assembly. The processor utilizes this data to determine the orientation of the landing string assembly relative to the wellhead assembly and issue alerts if deviations from the predetermined orientation occur. Overall, the wellhead system offers a comprehensive solution for ensuring the accurate and secure placement of the landing string assembly in oil and gas well operations, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
